5E error is a drain fault.

The washing machine has not been able to empty the water within its designated time.

There are several things that can be done before you call the service centre.

1Check the drain pump and/or debris filter for obstructions depending of the model of your washing machine. Sample instruction how to clean a debris filter is as per under.

For your model of washing machine please refer to user manual supplied with the product. If you need new user manual and you are not able to locate it on Samsung web you are welcome to get in touch Samsung Customer Care on 0800 726 786 and they will be happy to help you.

2Check the drain hose for any obstructions

3Check that the outlet of the drain hose is not submerged under water in the drain pipe or sink. Submerging the end of the drain hose will create a syphoning effect causing the washing machine to refill with water when the pump stops.

Note: If the problems persist, the unit may require service. Contact Samsung Customer Service as per info below.
